Do you love the extra embellishment of a bridal belt with your wedding gown? Do you not need that extra little bit of bling? Are you on-board with the belt trend, or do you prefer the beltless look? Belt? Photo by McCardell Photography in Greensboro, NC Or No Belt? Photo by Creative Impressions...

Depends on the belt. I don't like those that are distracting to the dress but some are nice!

It depends on the style and the person for that one. I'm either or. With the princess dress no but with an A line it looks nice.

Belt. I know I'm in the minority here, but I feel like it defines the dress a bit more!

It depends on the dress but my detail meets right beneath the belt line that it would clash so no belt for me!

No belt! I tried on dresses that you'd typically add a belt to and they just weren't my style.

I think the belt can be just the right ouch sometimes but not always. My dress has enough going on already and doesn’t need a belt.

It depends on the dress. Generally I don't like belts on me, because I'm short and it looks like it cut my body in half

I like a nice belt, as it helps to break up the dress and gives another focal point. Plus, it adds more shape to the body.

My dress doesn’t have a belt with it but it’s got enough on it to take up for the bling

No belt for me, but sometimes it really elevates the look of a dress

I don’t really care for the belt look unless it would be a satin belt with a small bow. Prefer the dress without the belt.

It depends on the dress. If the dress already has some bling or really pretty detail, no belt.
I personally love belts on simple dresses though.

No belt, unless your tummy is a flat 😉

I'd normally say no belt but with my dress, it kind of already comes with a solid white one. I'm changing it to a ribbon though. We'll see how it turns out.
